Game Details and Broadcast Information
The New York Mets travel to Angel Stadium in Anaheim to face the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, May 1 at 9:38 p.m. The game will be broadcast on PIX11. This is the opener of a three-game series between the two teams and marks the beginning of a nine-game west coast trip for the Mets that also includes stops in Colorado and Arizona.
Starting Pitchers
Christian Scott will start for the Mets, making his second start of the season after a difficult outing against the Twins where he lasted 1⅓ innings with five walks. The Angels will counter with 22-year-old rookie Walbert Ureña, who has made four appearances including two starts and carries a 0-3 record with six earned runs in 11⅓ innings.
Mets' Season Struggles
The Mets arrive in Los Angeles with a 10-21 record, one of the three worst starts in franchise history. They finished April with a 7-19 record and have been plagued by offensive struggles, rotation issues, and bullpen inconsistencies. Key players like Francisco Lindor, Luis Robert, and Manuel Polanco are unavailable, leaving the lineup thin.
Angels' Recent Form
The Angels are losers of six straight games and have won just one of their last 11 games. They also are missing José Soriano, their best pitcher. Despite their struggles, the matchup presents an opportunity for Mets fans to see Mike Trout, regarded as one of the best players of his generation.
